This week is geared towards improving your technique and learning drills rather than piling on the miles, (this can be done at home!).

You will also experience open water swimming at one of the many delightful lakes in the region and river swims with backup canoe alongside.

Transition from swim to bike will also feature, plus tips on fast wetsuit removal, nutrition, hydration and recovery.

Pool swimming on these clinics will be based in Grahams private 20m heated outdoor pool , at his residence just 5 mins away from Tri-topia. With trips to the river and lakes to really get to practice your pool learned technique in open water, they'll be plenty of time to combine cycling and running too.

Throughout the week there will be video analysis and  one-to-one coaching, with plenty of time over evening meals to talk over the days events.
